Medical Schools will likely require you to complete either the Computer-Based Assessment for Sampling Personal Characteristics (CASPer) evaluation or the AAMC PREview.

Both exams are an online evaluation which assesses for non-cognitive skills and interpersonal characteristics. As part of a program's holistic applicant review, admissions committees will use CASPer or PREview results to complement other tools used during the applicant screening process.

Casper now includes a typed-response section (comprising 9 scenarios) and a video-response section (comprising 6 scenarios). The decision to introduce a video-response section was based on the results of an experiment conducted with over 2,000 test takers that showed video response could help reduce demographic differences in test performance.

The CASPer evaluation costs $85, which includes 8 program distributions, and additional distributions are $15 each.
